Haha Toyota a contender in 2 years?! I really don't think so. They can have the best drivers in the world and they would never come close. Ralf is not the best developer in terms of technical know how. If they had MS developing the Toyota, i could see them improving. Toyota won't be good, if ever, for atleast 4-5 years!

Fisi inherited his win, nothing else
Last year Fisi had his win (if you don't want to give him credit for the win, call it a second place). The year before he had 3 5th place finishes. 2001 a third and a fourth and 2000 he had a second, third and 2 5ths
That 5th place finish in the Aussie GP was Webber's best finish ever....2003 he did nothing, 2004 to date he has done nohing, while Fisi has a 4th this year and is leading Webber in the drivers.
Will Webber do well in a Williams - YES - would Fisi do well in a Williams - YES!

Webber was excellent last year. He hasn't really impressed this year. IMO, Williams would do far better with JV.
Heck, get Paul Tracy and Jacques and build a canadian 1-2 at Williams!
The team to watch out for next year is definitely Maclaren. Kimi and JPM, wow, what a duo!!

I'm with Simon on the Ralph issue, I do not like him.
As far as Fisi is concerned here is my stance. I have his hat from when he was in a Jordan/Honda because he was the better of the two drivers. I guess if Flavio wants him back there must be a reason for it so I will have to trust Flavio. However if next year he is always following Fernando around I will not be completely surprised.
Now, Marco, I think it is a bit unfair of you to say that Trulli is "consistently" ahead of Fernando. Maybe you should look at the driver's points standings, my man Fernando was ahead of Trulli in Melbourne, Imola, Magny-cours and Hockenheim. Yes, I will admit Trulli has more points and is ahead, but consistently is just wrong.
As far as Toyota is concerned here is my stance. Toyota has the biggest budget in F1 according to what I have read, that being said their results really suck and they will continue to do so next year! Trulli and Ralph are going to have their hands full just getting a point or two. Toyota is not going to be a contender for many years, well unless they are contending for back-of-the-pack award...
